KATE WHALEN: SHE'S GOT RHYTHM!

Curtain Call Choreography is a musical theater dance workshop series held at the Lewiston/Auburn Community Little Theatre in Auburn, Maine. Each month, CLT will bring in a guest choreographer to focus on a specific style of dance through the lens of musical theater.

This month's theme was called "You've Got Rhythm!"! The class focused on basic tap technique and short combinations, followed by a longer piece of choreography to "I've Got Rhythm" from CRAZY FOR YOU.

Our guest instructor for this session of Curtain Call Choreography was Kate Whalen! Kate has been teaching Tap at Collective Motion Arts Center and Casco Bay Movers. In addition to teaching, Kate has always been very active in theatre beginning with her first show in 1985. She has performed on stage in countless shows and has enjoyed being a director and choreographer, most proudly taking on both of those roles for Lyric Theatre Company’s Mary Poppins in Vermont. In Maine, she has choreographed and directed shows with Lyric Music Theater and Portland Players. She has also performed with both groups as well as with

Schoolhouse Arts Center and City Theater. Kate was thrilled to share her love of dance, especially the joy of Tap, with Community Little Theatre!

Thank you, Kate Whalen, and all of the participants in our "You've Got Rhythm" for making this a truly enjoyable and educational event!
